Discipline
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
A grappling-based martial art.
You learn how to take someone down, get to a strong position and submit them.
You learn to defend yourself using technique instead of strength.
That means it can work for different ages, sizes and fitness levels.
Discipline
Kickboxing
A striking martial art taught on pads and with partners.
You learn how to punch, kick, move and defend.
You practise on pads with a partner before adding controlled contact.
A coach sets the pace, and nobody spars before they are ready.

01 The objection
We are the most expensive academy in Barnsley
We know. We have heard it. And honestly, we will probably never be able to compete on price.
We do not run massive sessions, we do not cut corners on coaching, and we do not pack the mats to make the numbers work. That makes us expensive.
02 The reason
Thankfully expensive
It means small sessions where your coach knows your name, your ability and your limits.
It means clean mats, qualified instructors, and a place where nobody gets overlooked.
Whether you are trusting us with your child or trusting us with yourself, some things should not be a bargain.

Common questions
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. You do not need any Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts experience. Your first session covers the basics at a steady pace. A coach will guide you and help you settle in.
What age groups do you cater for?
Sessions start at age 4, with groups for ages 4 to 6, 7 to 11, 12 to 15 and adults aged 16 and over. Check the timetable for current days and times.
Is it safe? I do not want to get hurt.
Like any contact sport, Jiu-Jitsu carries some risk. We manage it with close coaching and a steady start. You learn the basics first and only move on when you are ready.
What if I just want to try it once before committing?
That is why we offer a free trial session. You can meet the coaches and step onto the mats before you decide. It is a simple way to see if the academy feels right for you or your child.
There is a free session with your name on it.
Walking in the first time is the hard part. Tell us you are coming and we will handle the rest.
